Message: [QUOTE="Longtime fan, post: 3329549, member: 7093"] I don't agree that people are having negative reaction. What I have read seems heavily balanced and realistic. We all know that it is early and two games do not a season make. But the expressed concerns seem valid. To wit; we have six players who will share 95% of the court time, all other factors being equal. Two of those six are freshman and look it, but they have huge upside potential which will emerge. I think it is valid to be concerned about an injury to any starter, as our depth is weaker than usual. None of the three bench players can be expected to do anything other than provide " breathers" for any starter. We know what Molly and Kyla can contribute, and that hasn't changed much in 4 seasons. The transfer from Murray State is largely unknown, but there is little reason to expect she will emerge as a great player for UCONN. I also think it is unrealistic to simply say, " Geno and his staff are brilliant ( true), and we will win it all come March." I agree that the team will be far, far better than it is today. But we have to expect superhuman efforts from the core four, and assume that Geno will find a way to get them some rest while being superhuman. Forty minutes per game for each of the core four, over the entire season, is going to take a toll. So you are seeing more worry and concern than usual. But I don't think we have a negative view at all. We are eager to see what this team can do and how it will develop. And we all love them. Always. [/QUOTE]
